A Bethlehem, Pa. man had a major payday recently at a Borgata Atlantic City Poker event. Alex Queen took home $613,063 from the Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship on January 26th. Queen, a poker pro, was one of 689 players to enter the field. Queen lasted the 6-hour marathon at the final table to win. Queen's winnings from the Winter Open are the largest in his career. His previous high of $355,000 came in the same place, at the Borgata Spring Poker Open Championship in 2010. "It feels surreal. It hasn't hit me yet. It feels like a dream," Queen said. In his poker playing career, he has reached millionaire status, amassing $2.5 million.
